Why does everyone think competitive is hard?! I don’t get it! Its just regular battling, except you can’t use non held items and the people are actually smart. Just battle! Sure, you might need to make some little adjustments, because there smarter than AI, but thats not hard! I got to around 1500 rank by just battling normally! I’ve earned so much BP by just battling normally! Its not as hard as you say! Its hard at first, but just practice! I’m not talking about the actual battling. I’m talking more so the grind to actually get the competitive Pokémon. PBB has it way worse than main series. Ev training takes longer, breeding is just awful (HA is hard to come by), items are expensive. I’m my opinion, don’t play competitively in PBB. It simply isn’t worth the effort. Unless they implemented a battle simulator mode similiar to showdown

The whole process is just too much. I only ever play competitively on core games or showdown since showdown has all the tools you need and ev training and breeding is easier than ever with gen 7.
